Historically, the golf fairways of South Africa have been anything but fair to South Africa's small but enthusiastic band of black golfers. This insight forms the backbone of THE FAIRWAY, Mzimasi Gova's considered exploration of the state of affairs in South African golf. The film reflects on the brief history of post-Apartheid golf development in black townships and these contemporary scenes are intercut with interviews with veteran black golfers. We hear about the challenges that black golfers experienced during the apartheid era as well as their resilience in keeping the game alive in black communities.
